[ad_1] The International Space Station orbits the Earth approximately every 90 minutes. Image via NASA. It has been 20 years since this month that astronaut William “Bill” Shepherd and cosmonauts Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev became the first people to board the International Space Station (ISS). That first crew resided …

[ad_1] The integrated detector combines a silicon photonic chip with a silicon microelectronic chip, delivering an advanced speed in quantum light detection. Bristol researchers have developed a tiny device that paves the way for higher-performance quantum computers and quantum communications, making them significantly faster than the current state of the …

[ad_1] A two-million-year-old skull of a distant large-toothed human cousin has been unearthed in an Australian-led archaeological dig deep in a South African cave system. The discovery is the earliest known and best-preserved example of the small-brained minin called Paranthropus robustus, researchers at La Trobe University say. The nearly complete …

[ad_1] Intense radiation from the giant planet Jupiter causes the night side of its moon Europa to visibly glow in the dark, a phenomenon that could help scientists figure out whether it can support simple life forms, according to a new study. The findings, published Monday in the journal Nature …

[ad_1] IMAGE: The discovery of an extraordinarily well-preserved fossil of the extinct human species Paranthropus robustus suggests rapid evolution during a turbulent period of local climate change, resulting in anatomical changes that … More Credit: Image courtesy of Jesse Martin and David Strait Males of the extinct human species Paranthropus …

[ad_1] A species of ancient human that lived two million years ago was forced to evolve and change its physical traits to survive climate change. The emergence of Paranthropus robustus occurred around the same time that the more primitive hominid species Australopithecus went extinct. This period of rapid change in …

Yet physicists have come up with formulas that predict this behavior, even when atoms are extremely close to each …
